About: I have just completed my 3 year degree in Veterinary Nursing and will be a registered veterinary nurse in around a months time. I have put hours of hard work and studying in over the last 3 years to strive to provide the highest quality of care for my patients. Over the years I’ve gained lots of experience in consulting, administration of medications, anaesthesia, diagnostic imaging, post op care, first aid and so many more. Before doing veterinary nursing I also worked in multiple different establishments including a doggy day care and down on a farm of a family friend helping out a dog breeder. I have always loved animals and currently own a 13 year old springer spaniel. I’ve had lots of experience with caring for different breeds/sizes/ages and I am very comfortable with administering any medications that your pet may require. I have also had lots of experience and training in monitoring for abnormalities and potential problems that can occur medically. Since being a young child, I have always been obsessed with animals and wanting to pet and show every dog and cat attention that I see! Any questions just send me a message😊 I am currently at home most days so am available most of the week! I am open to being flexible and catering towards when is best for you! I will collect any information on your dog/cats routine and follow their usual day to day routine. Making sure they are safe and cared for always!
“Simone is truly a five star dog walker and sitter. She is the best in what she do and Leo and we love her. She is part of family for us and we recommend her to anyone who like to have VIP service.”
About: We’re a caring and reliable couple who have both grown up with dogs and cats our entire lives. Looking after animals has always been a natural part of our daily routine, from feeding and walking to playtime and giving them plenty of attention and affection. We live in a quiet town in a spacious 3-bedroom home, providing a calm and comfortable environment for pets to relax in. We understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and we always take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s energetic walks, keeping up with routines, or simply giving extra cuddles, we treat every pet as if they were our own. You can count on us to provide a loving, safe, and attentive experience while you're away.
About: I have had cats since I was little, adopting them from friends, the RSPCA or relatives. I have also owned rabbits, and dogs, in the past as an adult. My dog experience includes an excitable Border Collie, a happy-go-lucky mixed breed and a fun-loving German Shepherd. I do miss dog walks and dog cuddles, but currently one of my adopted senior cats isn't keen on dogs so I am currently a dog free house! I have looked after pets since I was about 5 or 6 so have nearly 50 years experience with animals.I work from home so if you have wifi and need a sitter in your home, I can be in most of the day with your pet. I love walking dogs on or off lead and I am happy to go with the personality of your pet, whether that's a cat that likes their own space, or a dog who wants cuddles and long outdoor walks. As for my cats, they have my Mum to look after them when I am away, so I can do overnight or longer stays. I work in education, have a car, flexibility on dates/times and I will look after your pet as if they are my own, sending lots of photos and updates. I work Monday-Friday in term-time, and work from home, with occasional meetings outside my home, depending on schedule. I usually get up, feed my cats, have breakfast, start work at 8 and if I'm in a Teams meeting online, try to keep my cats from coming into shot or stepping all over my keyboard! Sometimes I might need to do an external visit or meeting, but if so then I am back home within 1-2hrs. At tea time the cats get fed again. At the weekends my cats have to wait a little longer for breakfast if I have a lie-in. At home I have a fenced-in garden, a cat flap and litter trays. I also have a small park 5 mins walk away where I used to walk my dogs, and a larger one 10 mins drive away. I live in a very quiet cul de sac.

“Aaliyah has been walking and spending time with Buddy for just over a year now and has been the best with him! We’ve just ended our regular walks / drops ins for a very bitter sweet reason as I’ve finished work for maternity leave. We will absolutely be in touch with Aaliyah for any time we need a walker or a sitter as I know Buddy is very comfortable with her and loves their time together 💙”
About: Ive aided in assistance dog training for 2 years, have a level 3 animal care diploma within that was taught canine first aid, I currently do go to uni doing veterinary bioscience and hopefully want to go onto doing veterinary medicine. I have a passion for taking care of animals and providing the best possible enrichment :) Right now at the moment since I’m back home I don’t really have much going on so it fits in perfectly with my schedule giving me something to do. Within homes I often do basic supervision such as sending text updates on what is happening and fun photos of your pets so you know they are always safe and sound :)
About: I have had my own dog for over 17 years so i understand what it’s like to take care of a dog. I am such a caring person, who loves walking and miss walking a dog. It would bring me so much joy again. I currently work a full time job, Monday-Thursday, when I finish work of an everning. I love to be able to walk dogs and on my days off also as this. I will always make sure that I am consistent when being around the dogs. At the moment I will not be offering over night stays at my home due to having no garden which is not ideal for a dog to be staying.
About: I’ve spent years as a cat’s trusted confidante, servant, and occasional claw-mark canvas. In other words: I’m an experienced cat sitter who knows how to read whisker twitches, decode tail flicks, and survive the midnight zoomies. But here’s my little plot twist: I also happen to love dogs—in all their slobbery, tail-thumping glory. While cats may tolerate me, dogs tend to celebrate me, and I’m now expanding my services to give canines the same level of care, attention, and slightly sardonic humour I’ve always brought to the feline kingdom. What I Can Offer Cats: From aloof aristocrats to needy lap-gremlins, I adapt to their whims. Feeding, playtime, medication, litter scooping—done with dignity (mostly theirs, sometimes mine). Dogs: Walks that are more than just laps around the block. Play, exercise, cuddles, and someone who won’t judge the enthusiastic sniffing of absolutely everything. Multi-pet households: I can handle your entire furry ensemble cast without losing the plot. Why Choose Me? Because I bring reliability with an edge. I’ll show up on time, send you updates that make you laugh instead of worry, and treat your pets like the strange little overlords they are. I understand that leaving them in someone else’s care can feel like a gamble—so let me be the safe bet with a slightly twisted sense of humour. Whether your cat is plotting your downfall or your dog is plotting how to steal the neighbour’s tennis ball, I’m here to keep the peace, provide the snuggles, and ensure everyone survives (including your houseplants). Dark humour aside: I take pet care seriously. Because your pets deserve more than a sitter—they deserve someone who gets them. Pet care isn’t a side task—it’s the rhythm of my week. Walks, feeds, cuddles, and even the occasional litter box politics are all handled with care, consistency, and a bit of humour. Your pets get attention, routine, and someone who truly knows their moods—so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced hands. I often work remotely in my day job so can accommodate last minute requests. I treat every home—and every pet—as if it were my own (without the shame of them judging my cooking). In a pet owner’s home, I stick to your routines: feeding, walks, playtime, medication, and all the little details that make your pet feel secure. In my home, I provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax, explore, and get plenty of attention. I’m attentive, consistent, and always on the lookout for signs that something might need extra care—so you can leave knowing your pets are happy, comfortable, and well looked after.
“Matt took excellent care of my retriever. Came over for a meet greet and my boy instantly fell in love! Fantastic communication throughout with lots of updates as well as lots of questions to get to know exactly how to care for Spencer.”
About: I have owned my own dogs in the past (Border Collie and Romanian Rescue), as well as being a professional dog sitter on Rover for over a year. I have also fostered dogs with the Dogs Trust and look after our neighbours dogs when they’re away. I work in a very flexible job from home and take regular walks throughout my working day. I’m currently away from my lovely Romanian rescue so it would be great to fill the dog shaped whole in my life by taking other’s loved ones on walks. This is personal to the individual dog but in general I make sure there’s nothing on the floors that would be harmful or a choking hazard. I walk dogs on the leads in fields with livestock. I keep an eye on the dogs to be aware of any signs of discomfort, pain or toilet needs. I make sure they are fed only dog food during their usual dinner times (except time for treats!), I top up fresh water regularly and take them out for toilet trips. And last but not least I shower them with love when they feel comfortable.
“Ilin was amazing with our nervous dog Winnie and really put us at ease. She was very communicative with us and patient with Winnie. She went above and beyond and you can tell that she has such a love for dogs! Would 10/10 recommend and will definitely be booking her again ☺️”
“Rosie has been absolutely fantastic in helping look after Pops. She's been incredibly good at working to fit his needs, and has developed an extremely strong relationship with him very quickly, despite him often not taking well to strangers. She's also been so flexible, working around schedule changes at fairly short notice. We're very, very happy, and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have had pets most of my life and enjoy the time with them. I'm retired so have the time to spoil your pet while you enjoy knowing they are well looked after. Im retired and have quite a bit of spare time on my hands. I love having a chat with a dog while walking, its wonderful. My own cats are indoors only as I prefer the safety of this. I cannot have pets boarding at my home due to my own fur babies x
“I am so glad to have found Sophie! She is polite, friendly and adores my dog, Bailey. I get regular updates and photographs whilst she is with her and she makes me feel completely at ease, as I know Bailey will be safe and looked after. Bailey loves her, so will be booking every week! Thank you ❤️”
About: I absolutely love dogs (all animals really) and have had dogs in my life since being young. I currently have a Yorkshire Terrier - I have experience with dogs in heat. I also have two cats, they spend the day outside so will be no issue. Since I have had dogs from a young age I have experience with a range of different breeds so I am very used to all the different personalities dogs can have. I am super flexible due to working from home and am therefore available at short notice. I have the most experience with these breed of dogs: Basset Hounds, Yorkshire Terriers, Labradors, Border Collies, Jack Russels, West Highland Terriers and Pugs. I look forward to hearing form you soon.

I have used Sophie for walking a couple of times now and she is great with my dogs! They are not the easiest lead walkers being excitable collies but she always goes above and beyond on the walks, brings her own towels when I forget and some treats. Would recommend to anyone!
Aaliyah has taken our puppy for several walks now and we have also booked for her to care for our cat whilst we are away (we booked this last minute and Aaliyah has been so accommodating). Aaaliyah is great with animals and it has been so stress free. Thank you ❤️
